Emirates To Receive Cash Infusion From Dubai
Like all other airlines, Emirates finds itself in a stark financial position. Aircraft are grounded and passengers aren’t flying. Emirates is not immune from the same cash crises that are affecting the other airlines around the globe. Many airlines can expect to burn through cash by the end of May without government intervention. The government of Dubai said: “it will support Emirates to go through the crisis and reach its goal of sitting on the throne of global aviation”.
